Premium product, fun brand, good people, good pay

Constant change, which means positions shift and people are let go. The new CEO said he was all about employee retention but so far that’s not been the case.

The lack of diversity shows itself throughout every aspect of the company. It’s not a good look and a good way to lose, or never even get, talent

Some of the people were great until they were all gone, easy work and great schedule

Get in, get it on your resume, and GET OUT!!
May 27, 2022 - Outside Sales Representative in Lexington-Fayette, KYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Very few nowadays. The product is easy to learn, sell, and it is a very recognizable brand. This is good for an internship or to begin a sales role. Easy shift-based job if you are inside sales. Outside sales does not have a great work/life balance but it's not too bad.
Cons
Very toxic environment. Prepare for blatant racism, sexism, and bullying tactics. BIG "boys' club" culture. Beware if you are a woman in this company. Diversity does not exist in this company at the corporate and sales levels. Do not believe their diversity statistics. Most POCs are factory workers. Poor pay. No commission bonuses for sales (who does that?!). Very minimal raises - if any at all. End-of-year bonuses are mostly based on subjective measures rather than a quantifiable number. You will never feel secure in your employment. Ever! All the talent and experience that built the brand has left. You will have nobody left to teach you. You will also leave. The grass is definitely greener on the other side. There are better sales opportunities with better cultures and better pay.
